Embodiment Construction

[0069]Referring now to FIG. 1, shown is an embodiment of an on-line query tool 1910. In an embodiment, one or more users 1900-1904 may connect to the on-line query tool 1910 via a network 1906. Users may interact with the query tool using conventional hardware and software, such as, in an embodiment, a web browser through the Internet.

[0070]Referring now to FIG. 2, shown is an embodiment of a hardware view of an on-line query tool. In one embodiment, this on-line query tool may be the GTE SuperpagesSM query tool. FIG. 2 shows a hardware view of the components that may be included in one embodiment of the query tool in typical operation as being accessed by a user through a network. The user 800 enters a query request which is sent via a network 802, such as the Internet, to the GTE Superpages Front End Server 804. The GTE Superpages Front End Server 804 includes a hardware router 806 for receiving incoming query requests. The hardware router routes the request, using a simple hardwa...

Abstract

Disclosed is a system for performing online data queries. The system for performing online data queries is a distributed computer system with a plurality of server nodes each fully redundant and capable of processing a user query request. Each server node includes a data query cache and other caches that may be used in performing data queries. The data query, as well as request allocation, is performed in accordance with an adaptive partitioning technique with a bias towards an initial partitioning scheme. Generic objects are created and used to represent business listings upon which the user may perform queries. Various data processing and integration techniques are included which enhance data queries. An update technique is used for synchronizing data updates as needed in updating the plurality of server nodes. A multi-media data transfer technique is used to transfer non-text or multi-media data between various components of the online query tool. Optimizations for searching, such as the common term optimization, are included for those commonly performed data queries. Also disclosed is a system for targeting advertisements that are displayed to a user of the system.
